:sigh:

Really really hope Jordan is alright and really really hope karma pays TJ Ward back in a big way very soon.

Re: Bengals-Browns game thread

I'm really afraid this season is the beginning of another long period of bad Bengals football. The offensive line needs an overhaul. There isn't one legitimate playmaker in the front seven. The receivers are old. And the quarterback is past his prime, but due to his large/long contract coupled with cheap ownership, he will be the starter for the next three or four years. You aren't going to solve all of those problems, but even to address most of them will take several years.

That one was just a great hit. Robinson lowered his head as Ward was flying it, so it made it look a bit like a head-hunting job, but it wasn't. Ward had already started flying in and Robinson ducked. Nothing Ward could have done on that one.

Re: Bengals-Browns game thread

I usually don't question the Refs. Today I have to say that was one of the worst crews I have ever seen. Three blown calls and they were all tremendously important.

I don't even want to rant about the Bengals problems. I'm just asking if anyone can remember a crew as inept as that one.

I don't know what was worse: the skipped pass for a completion, the phantom PI call on Dhani on 3rd down, or the phantom defensive holding on that last drive. I understand what defensive holding is on the line but Pat Sims did absolutely nothing on that play and got flagged for it. It would have been 3rd and long with 4+ minutes on the clock but instead the Browns got a first down and ran out the clock. Of course, the Bengals could have manned up and stopped them...
